Ken flung open the door to his brother's hospital room with enough force to actually rattle the walls. Tomaru blinked at the door thinking it was impossible to slam pressurized doors but apparently common logic didn't apply to a pissed Ken. His friend was on a warpath and he felt sorry for any one who stood in Ken's way. The doctor walked calmly in behind him and Ken turned sharply on one-heel eyes blazing blue fury. "Where is my brother?" The voice was a low threatening growl and the doctor took a step back. "We aren't sure Hidaka-san. We've told the police all we know. The nurse came in and checked on him around noon when she was doing her rounds and he was gone. No one had come to visit him before then and no one but doctors and nurses had been in this hall." His friend snarled and stormed past him. "Tomaru see if you can pick up a scent. I'm getting the pack." The last sentence was said in such a dark tone it scent shivers down his spine.
Ken tried to calm himself while he walked to the hotel Manx and the rest of Kritiker that wasn't on Persia's side rented out for the wer to stay. He was so angry he could have screamed and all he wanted was for his two brothers' and Ran to be safe. He had lived so long with out a family he had given up on ever remember the one he had but seeing Keiji he kept dreaming about the little boy running after the car calling his name. He shook his head and sighed heavily. He didn't want to hold hope if there was none to be held but there was more than hope but it was all lost to him now. He growled and slammed his fist into a wall. "Keiji! Keiji! I'm sorry oh god I didn't want to I'm sorry." He froze and ducked into the small alley way and then walked along a fence ducking under. The smell of blood and sweat was stronger than the smell of garbage. He moved quickly and found a boy with sandy blond hair crying over a small stain. He knew that smell it was his brother's. He growled and the man gasped looking at him then sagged a bit. "I thought you were Nanashi." He growled again and moved swiftly pinning the boy. "No I'm worse. Where is my brother you sick fuck?" The boy's eyes went wide and he shook his head. "I don't know. I stabbed him and ran I don't know. I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt him I was just so angry and then I…Oh god I hurt my Keiji." The boy started to cry and he shook him roughly. "Lets say I believe you and I won't kill you if you tell me where Nanashi is." The boy looked at him and swallowed. "I'm not sure. We move the den a lot and I haven't been back since…" He shook the boy again harder.
Kenta glared at the man standing before him who chuckled softly gold eyes flashing and long blond hair being shoved from his face. "Ah the young they are so spirited. Luckily their minds can be molded and shaped to fit my desires." He spit on the man as he got close enough and he just smiled darkly. "Oh little one if you don't want your brother's mate and friend killed I suggest you behave." He sneered and looked to the redhead next to him. "I don't behave for my brothers what makes you so special?" The man smiled and touched his chin. "Your brothers wouldn't flay the skin from your bones." He smirked darkly. "You wouldn't do it. You need me to lure Ken out and bargain. You know how strong Keiji is and you are afraid of Ken because everything you've done still makes you nothing compared to him." The man snarled and slapped him across the face. "I am not afraid of Ken." His brother's name was spit with an extreme distaste. He snorted and rolled his eyes. "Yeah right. If you weren't afraid of him you would have fought him long ago, you wouldn't be hiding in the shadows like a cowardly pup. You wouldn't have to resort to kidnapping children, a sick man, and um Crawford. You are a coward." The man snarled in his face and he smirked.
Keiji stumbled and leaned against the wall of something trying to catch his breath. Every part of him hurt and he wanted nothing more than sleep but he had to protect Kenta. He felt off and the only thing wrong was that he left his little brother. He wanted to protect his family he wanted to tell Ken that Persia was working for Nanashi. He wanted to stop the annoying doctors that killed Hashi. He wanted this all to end so he started moving. The world started to go fuzzy but he bit back the pain and kept on moving one hand against the wall the other pressed firmly against his ribs. He started to fall but strong arms caught him easily and he looked at the dark skin and the firm muscles and blinked again. "Are you alright young brother of Ken?" He blinked up at a long face clear of any facial hair and blinked again. "Kenta?" The man frowned and he felt his heart rate pick up. "Find Ken tell him Persia is with Nanashi. Tell him the hospital is dangerous." The man nodded and lifted him up jogging off easily. He sagged into the warm body and faded off.
Ken growled and the boy looked at him fear filling green eyes. His grip tightened and he was tempted to strangle the boy before him. "I do know one thing. There is a spot Nanashi keeps his brother that is never moved. It's in the old sewer system under the park and the pack used to be by the big empty field that Takatori tested weapons on." He rolled his eyes wondering how the whole Takatori thing always came to bite them in the ass. Please don't kill me." He rolled his eyes again and hauled the boy up. "I don't trust you in the slightest so I'm going to lock you up." He hauled the boy up and dragged him to the police station. He slammed the boy in a cell and sighed leaving.
Ran watched Nanashi pace and growl he placed himself in front of Kenta and the man turned to look at him eyes blazing. " Where is Ken?" He snorted and looked at the blond boy chained to the wall. "I'm not telling." The man snarled and Crawford chuckled darkly. "You'll never beat Ken. You have to chain us up to beat you and us have to get lackeys to capture us. You are weak." The man snarled and smacked Crawford who hardly flinched. "You hit like a little girl." He blinked at the precog and the fuming man before him. "Yeah he does. Actually I know girls who hit harder." Kenta chimed in behind him. He was slapped instead of the younger boy and he snorted. "You are weak and you expect to beat Ken? How many people have you actually killed yourself? I bet not a single one. You are going to take on Ken? He's been an assassin since he was sixteen that's three years. He's killed more people than you've ever seen. He won't hesitate to kill you because he sees you as evil. You can't win." The man screamed and started to slap him over and over but he just kept his eyes locked on the man's face.
Kenta watched the man before him and the heaving breaths he was taking. He was screaming that he could beat Ken and he would but it was clear the man had lost his cool. He spun and stormed out of the room slamming the door and he smiled slipping from the cuffs that held him then started picking the redhead's lock. "How did you get out?" He gave Ran a cheeky smiled and looked down. "Keiji and I bummed the streets for a while so it was a skill I picked up so we would have a warm place to sleep at night." The redhead nodded and started on Crawford while he got the man on the wall. "Is Ken really an assassin?" Ran looked at him and nodded sadly and he sighed. "Well we all do what we can to survive." The redhead nodded and gently wrapped his arms around the boy pulling him off the wall and setting him gently on the floor. He studied the face closely and blinked. "Is it just me or does he look like a blond Ken to you?" Crawford snorted and sat rubbing his wrists. "He's Ken's opposite. He's a human born of two wer." He looked at the man and squinted. "How do you know?" The man gave him a bland look. "I'm physic kid I know everything." He laughed slightly but it died on his lips when he realized they weren't joking.
Nanashi's face was contorted in blind rage and his breathing heavy. They were wrong they were all wrong. He could and would beat Ken and then he'd drag the brunet's dead carcass back to his lover and watch the redhead cry then he would take the redhead as his own. He smirked and moved quickly going to gather the rest of the pack. This was war and Ken was too kind spirited to really do anything to him. The whole assassin thing was nothing more than a lie. His hands would be red with the blood of the beautiful redhead's weak mate.
Here's a little Valentine's Day gift for you all. Hope you enjoy!
